Firstly the British Hillclimb Championship began in 1947.

Second I have to agree with the general concensus that Goodwood hillclimb course is a bit of a red herring. It is allowed to run demonstrations with the times being given, however I guess if there is a very quick run then the timekeepers will probaly miss recording it!

Finally Craigantlet would be OK for the Europeans as would Lhergy Frissel as both are wide public roads. However both would require the Europeans to undertake TWO ferry crossings and for that reason alone would be prohibitively expensive for the competitors.
